My Braveheart moment is at the very end, when Robert the Bruce pulls the tattered handkerchief from underneath his armor and says to his troops, with that crazed look in his eyes, "You've bled with Wallace...Now bleed with me."
Leon walking towards the exit of the tenement house in The Professional.
The final, bitter end of Requiem for a Dream, flipping back and forth between the endings of all the main characters.
The end of the fight between Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator.
The scene at the beach house in Road to Perdition.
When Hoot goes right back into the streets of Mogadishu in Black Hawk Down.
The end of The Usual Suspects, when the mystery finally unravels.
The scene in The Sixth Sense when the boy and his mother are stuck in traffic and he explains to her the things he sees all the time.
Countless stunning moments in Apocalypse Now and, to a lesser extent, The Thin Red Line.
The opening scene of Blade Runner with the camera roving over a future Los Angeles. It's amazing how the music has stood the test of time.
There are others, but those are what float to the top for me.
